Feb 27th: SWM, HH, HV, PC, and Aldi's. Stocking up on bread with the earthgrains coupons, I needed a lot of produce today anyway, so that worked out well. I got 4 loaves, pretty much for free a/c's. I combined with the good produce sales and went to town. Other highlights: found fisher snacks are cheaper at the McGeever Price Chopper. The cheese curls ended up being .29 and the snack mix .39, plus they had small containers of fisher shelled sunflower seeds, 7.25 ounces for 2.09-1/1, so 1.09, i got two of them for dh. That is the best price on seedless seeds i have found since SWM lowered their ounces in the goodsense nuts, it is now 10oz for 1.94-used to be 12oz. Another gripe about SWM and nuts, lol! I just found the 6 oz packages of fisher walnut chips a couple weeks ago for 1.61, now today i go and they have hiked the price to 2.48!! urgh...It's still a good price, a/c compared to everwhere else, but still...I guess i should have stocked up before. I just hate it, because you never know if they are going to raise a price or lower a price... OOP and savings are about even, mainly b/c i was getting produce and dairy products. When i buy produce my savings are never much, and we are practically vegetarian, so we eat a lot of produce...Post pic later...
